The servant brought some warm water. Wan Jinlan looked at the butler Wang and the nanny standing there, trying to use his eyes to make these two tactless people leave.
She wasn't shameless enough to take off her new husband's clothes and wipe his body in front of others.
Butler Wang was confused at first, but then he realized what was going on and slapped himself on the forehead. "Oh, I have something else to do. Madam Li, please come out with me."
Butler Wang forcibly dragged Nanny Li out.
Nanny Li was a nanny in the Empress Dowager's palace. She was specially sent by the Empress Dowager to take care of and watch over Xiao Feng in the mansion.
"Madame Li, what are you doing? The princess has just arrived and is very shy. If you stare at her, she'll be embarrassed."
Nanny Li's face was serious. "The Queen said that she wanted me to see if the princess is someone who will serve others wholeheartedly. If she is not, the servants will have to come."
Nanny Li had seen the princess feeding the prince, and she did a pretty good job, except for being a little rough. However, wiping the body was a delicate job, and it couldn't take too long. The prince's body ran hot and cold, so she had to wipe quickly, otherwise it would affect his condition.
Wan Jinlan in the room had heard what Nanny Li had said, so she knew the taboos. She quickly stripped off Xiao Feng's outer shirt, then took off his snow-white undergarment and wiped his upper body first.
Avoiding the scabbed wounds, he wiped the front, then turned the person over without hesitation and wiped the back.
He used to look tall and slender when he was healthy, but now he has been lying down for a long time and looks a lot thinner than before. However, once he takes off his underwear, you can still see the strength of his chest, but there are quite a few old scars on his body.
Wan Jinlan wiped it while saying, "Xiao Feng, today we are getting married, but because you are lying here, all the ladies in Kyoto are laughing at me. You better wake up quickly, otherwise... humph!"
Xiao Feng curled his fingers lightly.
As she spoke, she changed his underwear into clean clothes. Since she was strong enough, she didn't find it difficult.
"Today you haven't even opened your eyes to see what I look like after putting on makeup and wearing wedding clothes," Wan Jinlan sighed, and noticed with his sharp eyes that the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly.
Wan Jinlan pinched the corner of his mouth, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Next, guess what I'm going to do?"
After she finished speaking, she got up and climbed onto the bed. When she reached the end of the bed, she tore off his underwear.
The hand that was gently curled up at the side of the body has been clenched into a fist, and the blue veins on the instep of the foot seem to be stretched a little.
After getting off the couch and adding hot water into the cold water bucket, Wan Jinlan became busy again.
Someone wiped his body every day. It was actually very easy to clean. Wan Jinlan did the job very efficiently. In less than an incense stick of time, he had tidied him up, put on his underwear neatly, and put on his outer shirt.
At this time, she half-lifted him up and leaned him against her, and began to comb his hair.
He has extremely fair skin, shiny black hair, and handsome three-dimensional features. Because he is thin, the angular contours of his jaw are even clearer.
He combed his hair and massaged his scalp before laying him down on the couch.
Through the screen, I could vaguely see Nanny Li waiting outside, and I didn't know what Butler Wang was busy with.
Wan Jinlan pulled the thin rope beside the bed. The maid who was waiting at the door came in after hearing the bell, took away all the buckets and basins, and wiped the floor clean.
Nanny Li came in again, bowed, and looked at the person lying on the bed. Even the hair under his head was neatly arranged, and there was a hint of a smile on his face.
"Princess, the Queen has something to tell you."
Wan Jinlan sipped his tea to moisten his mouth. "What's the matter?"
Nanny Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to the outer hall and talk?"
Wan Jinlan raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly.
When the two of them arrived at the outer hall, after hearing what Nanny Li said, Wan Jinlan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and he was completely stunned.
Nanny Li explained worriedly, "Your Majesty is also afraid that the prince will never wake up again. She wants the princess to leave a bloodline for the prince. In the future, the princess will rest here."
Wan Jinlan didn't dare to resist the Queen Mother's intention openly, so he had to agree verbally first.
But she really wouldn't do that to Xiao Feng who was unconscious and sick, and she couldn't overcome her own mentality to do that.
After Nanny Li left, the imperial physician came again. After asking carefully, Wan Jinlan learned that Xiao Feng's condition had not worsened nor improved, but his body continued to lose weight. If he did not wake up for a long time, sooner or later he would die.
The imperial physician's words were tactful, and since she was not stupid, she naturally understood.
"Is the Imperial Physician now certain that this is not malaria?"
The imperial physician nodded. "Earlier, Imperial Physician Lin and I speculated that it might be poison. However, after taking the prince's blood and examining it, we found that it is highly likely not poison."
Wan Jinlan asked: "Could it be a poison?" Witchcraft was a taboo in the court, and ordinary people had no idea about it, but there was indeed such a thing as insect poison in the folk legends of the southwest.
The old doctor stroked his beard, his expression worried. "It's not impossible, but if it's a poison, then there's nothing I can do."
Wan Jinlan sighed. What on earth had Xiao Feng provoked to end up like this?
My father has sent people to the southwest to look for extraordinary people among the people, hoping for good news.
The Empress Dowager must be aware of Xiao Feng's current situation, otherwise she would not have given her the order to consummate the marriage.
Chuntao moved her luggage back to Xiao Feng's courtyard, and ordered people to move Diandian's doghouse as well. She was busy until the sky was filled with red clouds before she finally put everything in order.
After taking a bath, Wan Jinlan sat in front of the dressing table in her pajamas, and Chuntao wrung her hair dry.
"Master, including the kitchen staff, there are only four maids in the palace, two of whom are married cooks. The rest of the servants and guards are all men. You only brought four maids with you, which is inconvenient in every way."
Wan Jinlan put aside the account book of various expenses of the palace that Housekeeper Wang had given her and said, "Go back to the palace tomorrow and ask my mother to pick out two reliable maids for me. That should be enough."
The two talked about various matters in the palace. After wrung out his hair, Wan Jinlan stretched his waist and walked into the inner room.
Chun Tao said in a tangled voice, "Master, why don't you just spread a thick blanket on the floor?"
The master would be scared if he slept on the same couch with someone who was so sick that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Wan Jinlan used his hand to push aside the beaded curtain, "It's cold on the ground, stop struggling."
Xiao Feng wasn't dead yet. Besides, what was the difference between the floor and the bed? They were both in the same room, and the floor was colder.
Wan Jinlan got on the couch, first moved Xiao Feng to the inside of the bed, then put his soft pillow outside and lay down.
Now she was really sleepy, so she got up in the middle of the night. After entering the mansion, she wiped Xiao Feng's body, fed him two doses of medicinal food and three bowls of soup, and also took the time to meet the servants in the mansion.
She was exhausted and fell asleep quickly. The person lying quietly beside her became a tool to support her legs and arms.
Wan Jinlan felt hot at night and dazedly lifted the quilt. When he touched the person next to him, he realized that he had entered the Prince Qi's Mansion.
She touched his forehead and found that it was getting hot again, so she quickly pulled the rope. The old woman already had experience and there was water in the kitchen. Wan Jinlan picked up a towel and started working again.
Only after finishing the work will he lie down again.
Lying beside him, she yawned and said sleepily, "You really know how to torment me."
After this incident, she didn't dare sleep too far away from him, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sense his condition.
Wan Jinlan muttered a few words, put his hands on him, and fell asleep again.
